A few people ventured answers to the silly non-contest questions. There were some good guesses.

A long while back, Big Lug wrote a post about Neko Case, describing her as her husband's "rock and roll girlfriend." For some reason, that really tickled me. I knew immediately who my rock and roll boyfriend would be -- Colin Meloy of the Decemberists. Sigh. If you are an English major-type with a slightly whacked sense of humor and a love of indie pop, do yourself a big favor and dash off to your nearest record store. You won't be sorry.

Of course, I could never have my own indie pop band, because I play no instruments and can't carry a tune with a wheelbarrow. But it's a fantasy nonetheless. Rachel made an excellent guess -- The Clementines -- which I like so much that it will now become my Fantasy Side Project Band. As Ben Gibbard has the Postal Service, so I will have the Clementines. But the name of my fantasy band is Countless Screaming Argonauts. It comes from "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants:

There's a picture opposite meOf my primitive ancestryWhich stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck freeThough I respect that a lotI'd be fired if that were my jobAfter killing Jason off and countless screaming argonauts...

The final correct answer is true. I was, in fact, the very first Homecoming Queen of the Escola Americana de Campinas. Some mother got the idea that we needed to do something to bring a little American-type high school culture to our international school, and thus my senior year we instituted Homecoming. Lest you think that my coronation was the mark of extreme popularity, I will tell you that there were only five girls in my senior class. Pictures, Kathy? Are you crazy?

Glad to have added to your fantasy music projects! I'm also giving myself partial credit for guessing that a member of TMBG was your rock-star boyfriend when in fact your fantasy band name is from a TMBG song. My psychic powers must have been picking up some static.

I must say I'm terribly excited to have won the yarn! And I know it's trite, but I really don't ever win anything. :)I love the title of your band! Whenever the Hubby and I run across a weird pairing of words we like to say, "That'd be a great name for a band." But in your case it would actually make sense!Oh, and tying in with Jennifer's comment--if your kids haven't seen TMBG's ABC's video, you've got to get it pronto! We like it so much that it has become our family's gift to all kids on their 2nd birthday. :)

My blog's name is my fantasy band name - I thought it up back in high school. I had forgotten about it until I started the blog - I figure I am never really going to be in a band, but I can still use the name!
